The Pia Chair – A Masterpiece of Danish Minimalism

Designed by Poul Cadovius in the spirit of the 1950s, the Pia Chair embodies the era’s design ethos—light, refined, and effortlessly elegant. Inspired by the great design chairs of its time, Cadovius sought to create a piece that was both physically and visually “petite,” adhering to the less is more philosophy. The result is a chair that balances minimal material use with an uncompromising dedication to craftsmanship, comfort, and detail.

Its conical solid wood legs lend a delicate yet sturdy presence, enhanced by two exquisite details: hand-sanded roundings at the top of the back legs and meticulously finger-joined front legs. The seat, woven by hand from natural rattan cord, takes  hours to complete—an intricate process requiring both patience and precision. A gently molded backrest ensures optimal support, making the Pia Chair as comfortable as it is visually striking.

As each chair is crafted from natural materials, every piece carries its own unique grain and character, ensuring no two are exactly alike. The Pia Chair is more than just seating—it is a refined expression of Danish craftsmanship, built to stand the test of time with grace and elegance.
